Please allow me to introduce you to the second gen Toyota Yaris

“We will be greeted as liberators”

Has not come to fruition for previous US regime change operations.

This kidnapping operation doesn’t give insight one way or the other into the will of the Venezuelan people. It, in fact, completely disregards it.


Until the 1920's it was not a crime to enter and work inside the US without prior authorization.

Staying and working beyond the initial authorization of a visa is a civil violation, not a criminal one in the US.

Laws are created by men with a specific intent not handed down as truth from god. In the case of the US, immigration law has largely been shaped by a racist quota system formed as a reaction of previous immigrants towards the next flight of immigrants. A "fuck you, I've got mine" mentality.


I mean it wasn’t illegal to send your 10 year old to work in a mine either, but that doesn’t mean we should allow it.

If you don’t like immigration laws then change them. Otherwise they should be enforced.


The vast majority of undocumented immigrants arrived legally and are visa overstays, which is NOT a criminal violation but rather a civil violation.

For most of America's history it wasn't even illegal to enter the US without prior authorization. The law that made it a crime to enter the US without authorization (8 U.S.C. § 1325) was specifically created in the 20's to restrict immigration by race. And the violent enforcement of this law has really only ramped up in the last few decades.

It is very strange to see many people in the US (and in this thread) accept the current enforcement framework as simply a set of static rules that just happen to be here, and not a relatively recent phenomenon that was enacted and enforced for a project of racial prejudice.


> "To create new voters"

How do you imagine this working? You do realize that voter registration requires proof of citizenship, correct?


See comment thread below


what is the objective criteria for just or unjust laws?


In a densely wooded area, no. Your sight line is naturally blocked by trees, so a farther throw of light would be wasted

In more open areas it can be quite helpful to have greater throw and flood illumination.

In the American Midwest, being able to spot ice patches or deer on the interstate with your brights is quite helpful.

Normal driving lights have no need for the intensity they have today though


The linked hiring page has a junior react/python position listed at $250k/yr

The rest of the piece makes a lot more sense given the context that the author is temporarily divorced from the broader economy


The first paragraph of your comment and the rest of what you’ve written in this thread are in conflict with each other.


What Google services are broken on Firefox?

My anecdata is that GSuite works completely fine daily driving Firefox.


Every once in a while google meet is notably worse with firefox, or some feature is only enabled on chrome. Not a big deal.


Maps is the most frequent offender of something that is "kinda broken" on Firefox - black tiles/boxes, slowness, other things not rendering right. But on Chrome, it works fine 100% of the time.


I have used Firefox on mobile and desktop for a better part of 15 years and I cannot recall seeing black boxes or tiles on Google Maps.


None of that happens for me.
